Dear Oak Families of 1st-5th Graders,

Thank you again for those families participating in our popular Lunch-In program.

I want to update you regarding a vendor change.

Meatheads will be closing their Willowbrook location at the end of April.

They will not be providing lunches for the 2 remaining dates, 4/28 & 5/12. A new vendor, Culver’s, has been secured and will replace Meatheads.

Myfooddays will open tomorrow morning, 4/14, to purchase orders for Culver’s (lunch dates 4/28 and 5/12). Deadline to place orders is Thursday, 4/20 by 10pm. 

Please note previously purchased Meatheads orders DO NOT automatically transfer to Culver’s. Parents must place new orders. Culver’s has a completely different menu & ingredients. Meatheads’ purchases on 4/28 & 5/12 have already been credited to your myfooddays account.

Culver’s will provide the following lunch options:

Hamburger meal (includes Lay’s chips & frozen vanilla custard)

Cheeseburger meal (includes Lay’s chips & frozen vanilla custard)

Grilled cheese meal (includes Lay’s chips & frozen vanilla custard)

Corn dog meal (includes Lay’s chips & frozen vanilla custard)

Garden salad meal (includes Lay’s chips & frozen vanilla custard)
